the bear slowly got up, roared into the cave. you have a chance to escape
take it or leave it?

Iist's face was red from embarrassment, but tried not to pay too much attention. She let Rem correct her arms before trying again, slicing downward with the stick. "Like that?" She said, trying to repeat the posture and swing to get used to it.

"just like that! now while you get used to that! i will find something for a dummy." he walked into the forest without waiting for a reply, changed from human into wolf and ran into the woods. you are alone in the sunlight where the sun is almost at the peak. practicing with your bamboo, you find your self really tired.

She decided to protect and get the fox instead of escaping

you got the fox. what do you want to do? run away with it or stay there and take your chance with the bear

"O-oh, wait--" Iist reached a hand out to try and stop Rem, but he already left before she could react. "Okay..."

Iist practiced the same slicing motion by herself. Even when she was tired, she went under the shade of a nearby tree and continued to swing. She was a nervous that he went off by himself, still bothered by the dream. She was almost certain that the Night Killers were the ones that took Rem. With them in mind, she kept slicing the air, gripping the bamboo so tightly that the ridges were imprinted on her palms.

((gonna afk for another 2hrs!))

((i am going to go afk untill tmorrow, because me gonna go to sleep!))

you start worrying, after a hour or two in high noon Rem comes back "Im back!" he is running next to you. "here is the dummy" he put a dummy made out of sewed clothes. "now practice on the dummy! i hope no one came and found you! if they did... its bad news"

he wacthes you while your practicing on the dummy.

Run

your running for your life, the cat and female cub fallows you after seeing the bear. you made a wrong turn and lost your way with the cubs

Rem happened to come back while Iist was taking a break, sitting under the shade of a tree. "I don't think I saw anyone come by, but what took you?" she laughed. "Did you make that while you were gone?" She got up to take a closer look at the dummy. She was amazed that Rem went through the trouble of finding (or making) one for her training. "Thanks, now I can feel like I'm actually landing hits on my enemies!"

She started doing the same slicing motions on the dummy with the bamboo just like Rem taught her, also asking for advice and checks on her posture, and asking if and when she'd learn different moves. She was all smiles as she pushed through her practice, but she knew that she had to rush to get better.
